My name is Sam, and I am an author of speculative fiction (mostly sci-fi and paranormal).<br />
<br />
I am happy to report that one of my short stories "Retirement Options" will be appearing in Mad Scientist Journal's <a href="http://www.defconone.com/book/mad-scientist-journal-spring-2019/">spring 2019 anthology</a> on March 26th.<br />
<br />
This will be my first "official" published short story, and I'm so excited! With that milestone on the horizon, I can't think of a better time to kickoff this blog. I am going to work hard and keep doing my best with my writing.<br />
<br />
Currently, I'm waiting to hear back about a ghost story I've submitted to Bad Dream Entertainment, and I'm also working on a new short story for Mad Scientist Journal's upcoming anthology <a href="http://www.defconone.com/book/i-didnt-break-the-lamp-historical-accounts-of-imaginary-acquaintances/">I Didn't Break the Lamp</a> (which is open for submissions through the end of the month, fyi). I'm also toying with the idea of participating in Camp NaNoWriMo next month. There's a novella I'm feeling inspired to tinker with again so I might set a modest goal and see if I can make some progress.<br />
<br />
